Principal Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, efficient and easy to use with great customer support and responsiveness!" December 1, 2023 5.0 Overall an excellent product and service, and highly recommended for anyone that needs to simplify their processes for tracking and managing time and expenses. Pros We appreciate the simplicity of MindSalt and the data architecture. It is quick, not buggy like other programs we have used in the past, and customizable to fit most of what we need. The customer support is excellent and they are extremely responsive, and help us find solutions and workarounds when needed. We also love how staff can be added and deactivated easily, which helps manage our budget as we have many temporary and seasonal staff. Cons There are very few cons. You are unable to track/assign expenses under individual project tasks, which is one of the major limitations for us to use this tool more robustly. The integration with Quickbooks did not originally work for us, but there may have been some improvements since we last looked into this. Review Source KD Kritika D. Senior Manager Strategic Services Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MindSalt Notes" October 6, 2023 4.0 Overall really simple and easy to use Pros More flexibility with timesheet approval Cons No forecasting capabilities - I was told maybe in the future. Switched from [BQE CORE Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/141096/BQE-Software/) Price Review Source CS Cori S. Chief of Staff Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use, great customer service" November 9, 2016 3.0 MindSalt is easy both to set up and administer and to enter time and expenses. The reporting can be a bit clunky; we usually have to export csv files and modify from there. Customer service is speedy and helpful. Pros Easy to use Cons Clunky reporting Review Source DB Donna B. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mindsalt Review" November 11, 2016 5.0 Mindsalt is a great "off the shelf" time reporting system. The base system has diverse functionality for creating multiple projects, tasks/functions, assigning task functions to staff, manager review and reports. Customer services has been exceptional from response time to problem solving. My recent experience with customer service caused me to go from a loyal customer to a more loyal customer. Pros All of the base functionality, ease of use. Reports are great. Ability to assign staff to one project only so when they log on they only see the project they are assigned. Cons It would be great if administrator when using an app could perform administrator functions. When accessing via the app, functionality is limited to user interface for entry. It would be great that once a project and functions are assigned to staff by administrator that when the time sheet is viewed by user, all assigned task functions are loaded and viewed by user as opposed to having to having to select from pull down each time. Review Source YP Yves P. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We are using Mindsalt for years to track our consultant's Timesheets and Travel Expenses." March 15, 2018 5.0 The friendly UI is a true time saver. It is very easy and fast to export the data we capture to our information system. Pros Fresh and responsive UI as well as the ability to export both Timesheet and Travel Expenses with all attribute that are required by our analytical and accounting systems. The customer support responsiveness and the ability to fit the timesheets to our business model were key in our decision. Cons We had to choose between a weekly or monthly view of the timesheets. For some reasons, it is a structuring parametrization we cannot change by ourself. We would prefer to provide our users with the ability to change it by themselfes at any time. Review Source RG Reb G. Principal Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid, easy to use time keeping" November 10, 2016 4.0 We tried many time-keeping solutions for our consulting / engineering firm, and finally landed on this one. It's quite easy to to administer, add jobs, and also to review & edit subordinates' hours. Nice iPhone interface too. We use it in our six-person firm, but could see this scaling up or down quite nicely. I do wish that entries could be moved from date to date and duplicated more easily, but these are minor concerns. Pros Easy to administer, easy to use for time entry too. Cons Reporting can be daunting to configure; can't move a time entry to another date - need to re-create it. Also would like an offline entry for iPhone (catch up on entries when I'm flying etc.). Review Source CP Charles P. Owner Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Legal Services " November 9, 2016 5.0 I have been using MindSalt for my timekeeping and billing ever since I opened my one-man law office in 2008. It's been a perfect fit ... my clients get a monthly invoice, detailing time and expenses together with applicable taxes, and I'm able to send out invoices by email. The monthly fee to MindSalt is very reasonable; and all the work is done "in the cloud," no need for me to purchase an expensive accounting/billing system. Thanks! Pros Easy to use, inexpensive, flexible Cons a little cumbersome with standard hourly rates Review Source JH Joseph H. Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software and support!" December 5, 2016 5.0 We evaluated 4 solutions before deciding to go with MindSalt for our time/expense tracking. Hands down MindSalt met and exceeded our requirements. The support was fantastic during our transition period and helped us customize a few reporting scenarios to get us to where we needed to be with some very specific report requirements. There are plenty of reports and thankfully there is a way to select a few as favorites as there are many of them. Pros It was easy for our employees to adopt and begin tracking their time. The reports are great and the support is very helpful. Cons We're not able to sync expenses with our bank. Review Source RP Rex P. Director Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "if you need a system to manage time recording and billing, this is easy..." November 10, 2016 5.0 When we set up our business we needed a time recording system that worked across a number of locations, seamlessly and efficiently - we chose Mindsalt and I am delighted we did. Pros simple, reliable, easy to use Cons the create an invoice button could be easier to find Review Source KD Kristen D. Business Analyst Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mindsalt Review" November 10, 2016 4.0 Mindsalt has been of great value to our company and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for expense reporting. Pros ease of use Cons the reporting could be better Review Source BN Brite N. Owner and Lead Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very good time keeping service without much hassle" May 16, 2025 5.0 Great & very affordable for my small business. Happy to be a customer. Pros I like that it's simple to set up and the customer service is very helpful. They've made at least 3 custom reports for me at my request. Cons I wish I could create my own custom reports using any field & rename field headers as needed without having to ask customer service to create one for me. Alternatives considered [Bonsai](https://www.capterra.com/p/238825/Bonsai/) Reason for choosing MindSalt Time & Expense it was affordable & I had used it before once Switched from [Bonsai](https://www.capterra.com/p/238825/Bonsai/) too many bells & whistles in the other one, not as clean of an interface Review Source VP Ville P. specialist Computer Networking Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "MindSalt Time & Expense " January 3, 2026 3.0 🚀 1. The Onboarding Experience Users generally report a very smooth start. Because the system is menu-driven and avoids complex "all-in-one" ERP clutter, administrators can set up projects and tasks quickly. Initial Impression: Professional and stable, though the design feels slightly "classic" rather than modern. Learning Curve: Almost non-existent for staff. Most employees can start logging time and uploading receipts with less than 5 minutes of instruction. Pros Robust and Visual Reporting, Extreme Ease of Use, High-Quality Customer Support, Significant Time Savings Cons Limited Mobile Interface, Lack of Native Project Management Tools, Basic Direct Integrations, Limited "Passive" Time Tracking Review Source Response from MindSalt January 7, 2026 Hi Ville, thanks for the review.

We have tried other companies but they have either been too expensive or too difficult for users. Mindsalt is both very user friend and cost effective. As one of our employees have said "These time sheets are stupid easy" Which is great when working with people who are not as computer literate. Pros Very user-friendly and cost effective Cons have not found one yet Review Source JR Jan R.

CIO Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for internal costing and chargeback" November 9, 2016 5.0 We use Mindsalt to capture internal time for allocating costs out to business units as well as capitalizing labor on large projects. Easy to run reports that you can save with default values so you don't have to re-enter every month. Can have tasks that are capitalizable (billable) and those that cannot (i.e. meetings, vacation). Can group projects by business unit making it simple to produce chargeback reports. Simple and easy to use. Pros Easy to use both for technicians and managers Cons Really no cons as far as I'm concerned. Does what it's supposed to do and isn't very expensive.
